Cyborg has released several versions of their R.A.T design, with a little redundancy.

I sold it within a month.Mad Catz Cyborg R.A.T series of gaming mice have made a splash on the pc peripheral market for two years now. It was a known issue at the time and I could've easily exchanged it, but I decided to sell it since I wasn't enjoying the weight/comfort of the mouse.TL DR: Mouse is too heavy and large. Developing carpel tunnel is not something I imagine most people like.One other issue, that I don't think has to do with the design, but of poor manufacturing is bubbles forming in the laser, which made the cursor jump from time to time. The large size and weightiness made this mouse very uncomfortable during use and when you're using a computer for most of the day or when you're just gaming for an extended amount of time you want to be as comfortable as possible. While I know this might not apply to everyone, I do think that most people don't have giant hands. The other, which is the deal killer for me, is that it's too large.


Even with no additional weights in this thing I found that easily gliding and moving this mouse around took more effort than I would have liked. From the various grips, thumb rests, weights, adjustable length, this mouse attempts to do what others don't, give the user the ability to mold the mouse as they please.Great concept, but flawed executionHowever, there are two things that make this mouse fatally flawed. While mouse mice stick to a relatively static design, this mouse features loads of customization options. When this mouse was announced at CES a few years back, I was excited to see how much effort that was put into the design and customization options with this mouse. The flat black finish with silver accents really work with its very angular design language.Overall a really great mouse. It will fit in most compartments, though, just as well as most mice would.I wouldn't call it ugly.

A comfortable mouse also really helps here.I wouldn't say it's the most portable mouse even in its "smallest" configuration it's still a bit bulky and a little heavy. I do, however, use it for editing video and audio, and I appreciate the adjustable DPI and the "Precision Aim" mode, which really helps me when I'm making fine adjustments. I would have liked an adjustable pinky rest as well, but that's a minor gripe.I didn't get this mouse for gaming (I'm primarily a console gamer), so I can't say how it performs under such conditions. The removable weights add a good bit of heft that, as comfortable as it is, keep the mouse from feeling too light. The main draw of its mouse is the adjustability, and I love that I can tweak its individual parts so that my hand rests on it as naturally as possible. I like to think I have average-sized hands, and I found the mouse quite comfortable to hold. But it's not acceptable for me to pay 100$ or more a year for "gaming mouse" that's supposed to last at least 3-5 years. Maybe I'm just unlucky to get two mice with buttons that don't hold longer than year.

Trigger itself sounds and feels tactile, as usual, but those unwanted double clicks are getting annoying.This is my advice - look for other reviews. This time I'm getting random double-clicks instead of a single left click. Another year and several months have passed, and now again I'm starting to experience some issues with left mouse button. So, I took it to retailer, and they gave me another mouse, this time it was M.M.O. I'm a game designer, work involves a lots of Photoshop, 3DS MAX and other "left-click" intense programs, also I like to play some FPS time to time. This made mouse impossible to work with.I used it at work and at home. Exactly one year later left mouse button switch lost it's resistance and it took only a light touch of a finger tip to make left click or even double click. I prefer claw-grip, and it's comfortable to use, although takes few days to get used to it. 7 mouse and was very satisfied with it's design and performance.
